Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Boots by the front door
Crayon on the laces
Little hands waving
Through screen door spaces
Coffee on the counter
Cooling in the dark
Two backpacks by the table
Cartoons barely start
[Chorus]
I don't wanna go
But I go anyway
Leaving pieces of my heart at the driveway
Every mile that pulls me from this home
Is the price I pay to break their chains one day
Yeah I'm breaking so they don't have to break
I give my sleep
My skin
My name
If it sets them free someday
I don't wanna go
But I go anyway
[Verse 2]
Sergeant in my face now
Echo in the cold
Calling me by last name
Like my first one’s sold
Blisters in my boots bleed
Letters in my pack
Tiny purple unicorns
Spelled “Dad
Please come back”
[Chorus]
I don't wanna go
But I go anyway
Leaving pieces of my heart at the driveway
Every mile that pulls me from this home
Is the price I pay to break their chains one day
Yeah I'm breaking so they don't have to break
I give my sleep
My skin
My name
If it sets them free someday
I don't wanna go
But I go anyway
[Bridge]
Lights out
Stare at metal springs
Count breaths
Count sins
Count everything
Whisper to the ceiling
“Hold them tight”
Trade my fear for their better life (better life)
[Chorus]
I don't wanna go
But I go anyway
I see their faces when the sky turns gray
Every tear that falls inside these walls
Builds a door they'll walk through someday
Yeah I'm breaking so they don't have to break
I give my sleep
My skin
My name
If it sets them free someday
I don't wanna go
But I go anyway (go anyway)
